  2. Scenery generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenery_generator

    A scenery generator is software used to create landscape images, 3D models, and animations. These programs often use procedural generation to generate the landscapes. If not using procedural generation to create the landscapes, then normally a 3D artist would render and create the landscapes. These programs are often used in video games or movies.

  3. VistaPro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VistaPro

    VistaPro is 3D scenery generator for the Amiga, Macintosh, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.It was written by John Hinkley as the follow-up to the initial version, Vista. [1] [2] The about box describes it as "a 3-D landscape generator and projector capable of accurately displaying real-world and fractal landscapes."

  5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  6. Fractal-generating software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal-generating_software

    Fractal-generating software is any type of graphics software that generates images of fractals. There are many fractal generating programs available, both free and commercial. Mobile apps are available to play or tinker with fractals. Some programmers create fractal software for themselves because of the novelty and because of the challenge in ...

  7. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    The generator, which is approximately 34% of the wind turbine cost, includes the electrical generator, [64] [65] the control electronics, and most likely a gearbox (e.g., planetary gear box), [66] adjustable-speed drive, or continuously variable transmission [67] component for converting the low-speed incoming rotation to high-speed rotation ...

  8. Fractal landscape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_landscape

    Fractal landscape. Use of triangular fractals to create a mountainous terrain. A fractal landscape or fractal surface is generated using a stochastic algorithm designed to produce fractal behavior that mimics the appearance of natural terrain. In other words, the surface resulting from the procedure is not a deterministic, but rather a random ...

  9. Wind power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    For any particular generator, there is an 80% chance that wind output will change less than 10% in an hour and a 40% chance that it will change 10% or more in 5 hours. [ 77 ] In summer 2021, wind power in the United Kingdom fell due to the lowest winds in seventy years, [ 78 ] In the future, smoothing peaks by producing green hydrogen may help ...
